Former Irish international rugby Captain and Haven Ambassador, Paul O’Connell, was presented with the Outstanding Contribution to Rugby Award 2017 at Haven’s annual Rugby Lunch, while Munster Rugby chose Haven as its international charity partner for the season.

This year’s Ball also honours the memory of Andrew Grene, the only Irish person to lose their life in the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, and celebrates the achievements of his brother, Gregory, and friend, Tim Perutz, through the Andrew Grene Foundation.
